Google buys photo sharing site Panoramio
Google has continued its spending spree this week with the announcement that it has bought picture website Panoramio, a website that links millions of photos with the exact geographical location where they were taken.
The search engine, who is quickly buying anyone and everyone they express an interest in, has said that the community photo website, will be used within its Google Earth package.
According to the two company's, the acquisition of Panoramio will incorporate the website, its underlying technology, its content, developers, and user community into the Google Geo product mix.
Google said in a statement on its website that "Panoramio will add interesting, useful content to Google products and will bolster Google's engineering and technical resources".
Taken by Panoramio's striking images documenting settings from all over the world, like moonscapes in Croatia, dramatic sunsets in Australia, and innovative architecture in the United Arab Emirates, Google says it has been working with the Spain-based company for some time.
Users can search and browse Panoramio photos and suggest edits to the metadata associated with the photos. Panoramio also offers an API that enables web developers to embed Panoramio functionality into their websites, and the company has offered a default layer with Google Earth since the beginning of the year.

If you were anxiously awaiting Andy and Lana Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending, we have bad news for you: Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow shifted the release from July 18 — slightly more than six weeks from now — to Feb. 6, 2015.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, insides say the move came because the $150 million sci-fi epic needed more special effects work. The website also contends bad buzz may contributed to the studio's anxiety.
Liam Neeson's Run All Night, which was originally scheduled for Feb. 6, has moved up to July 18 to fill the slot. Here's the official synopsis for Jupiter Ascending:
From the streets of Chicago to the far-flung galaxies whirling through space, "Jupiter Ascending" tells the story of Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), who was born under a night sky, with signs predicting she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people's houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.
Hmmm, probably didn't want to go up against the "Purge" sequel (or Dwayne Johnson's "Hercules" & Scarlett Johansson's "Lucy" the following week). I had high hopes from the folks who gave us "The Matrix" trilogy or the much maligned "Cloud Atlas" (I liked it). Guess we'll have to wait till the less crowded February slate next year.

Why do we remain unprepared for the next terrorist attack or natural disaster? Where are we most vulnerable? How have we allowed our government to be so negligent? Who will keep you and your family safe? Is America living on borrowed time? How can we become a more resilient nation?
Americans are in denial when it comes to facing up to how vulnerable our nation is to disaster, be it terrorist attack or act of God. We have learned little from the cataclysms of September 11 and Hurricane Katrina. When it comes to catastrophe, America is living on borrowed time–and squandering it. In this new book, leading security expert Stephen Flynn issues a call to action, demanding that we wake up and prepare immediately for a safer future.
The truth is acts of terror cannot always be prevented, and nature continues to show its fury in frighteningly unpredictable ways. Resiliency, argues Flynn, must now become our national motto. With chilling frankness and clarity, Flynn paints an all too real scenario of the threats we face within our own borders. A terrorist attack on a tanker carrying liquefied natural gas into Boston Harbor could kill thousands and leave millions more of New Englanders without power or heat. The destruction of a ship with a cargo of oil in Long Beach, California, could bring the West Coast economy to its knees and endanger the surrounding population. But even these all-too-plausible terrorist scenarios pale in comparison to the potential destruction wrought by a major earthquake or hurricane.
Our growing exposure to man-made and natural perils is largely rooted in our own negligence, as we take for granted the infrastructure handed down to us by earlier generations. Once the envy of the world, this infrastructure is now crumbling. After decades of neglect, our public health system leaves us at the mercy of microbes that could kill millions in the next flu pandemic. Flash flooding could wipe out a fifty-year-old dam north of Phoenix, placing thousands of homes and lives at risk. The next San Francisco earthquake could destroy century-old levees, contaminating the freshwater supply that most of California relies on for survival.
It doesn't have to be this way. The Edge of Disaster tells us what we can do about it, as individuals and as a society. We can–and, Flynn argues, we must–construct a more resilient nation. With the wounds of recent national tragedies still unhealed, the time to act is now.
Flynn argues that by tackling head-on, eyes open the perils that lie before us, we can remain true to our most important and endearing national trait: our sense of optimism about the future and our conviction that we can change it for the better for ourselves–and our children.

Chapter 1
The United States has become a brittle superpower. We are the world's economic and cultural 900-pound gorilla and spend more on our military muscle than the rest of the world combined. Yet we increasingly behave like the occupants of a grand old mansion who have given up on investing in its upkeep. We depend on complex infrastructure built by the hard labor, capital, and ingenuity of our forbears, but we seem oblivious to the fact that it is aging—and not very gracefully. Bridges are outfitted with the civil engineering equivalent of a diaper. Public works departments construct "temporary" patches for dams that leave those living downstream one major storm away from waking up to a wall of water rolling through their living rooms. Our electricity comes to us via a decades-old system of power generators, transformers, and transmission lines that has utility executives holding their breath on every hot day in July or August.
It is not just modernity's hardware that is being neglected. Two decades of taxpayer rebellion have stripped away the means for emergency workers to help us when we need them. Today, most city and state public health departments are not adequately funded to manage their routine work. A flu pandemic would completely overwhelm them. A growing number of firehouses have been shuttered in recent years, and firefighters must make do with radios that often are unable to support communications with neighboring departments. In many cities across the country, there are fewer police officers on the streets today than there were in 2001, and those still on the beat have only limited access to the kind of protective equipment that would allow them to operate in a contaminated environment. Emergency room services have been a major casualty of medical care belt-tightening, forcing ambulances to routinely engage in countywide scavenger hunts for a place to bring their patients. Federal agencies such as the Coast Guard operate with a rickety fleet of aged ships and aircraft that routinely break down during patrols. In short, on any given day, our first responders are barely treading water. That means that there is little to no capability to deal with large-scale disasters such as major hurricanes, terrorist attacks, and disease outbreak.
Like the spoiled offspring of well-off parents, we seem blissfully ignorant of what is required to sustain the quality of our daily lives. Washington has shown little interest in challenging this national state of complacency. Rather than address the myriad soft targets within the U.S. border, the White House has defined the war on terrorism as something to be managed by actions beyond our shores. The rallying cry of the Bush administration and its allies on Capitol Hill has been "We must fight terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them here." What this ignores is that terrorists can still come here—and, worse yet, are being made here. When it comes to natural disasters, both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue rationalize their passivity by citing deference to governors and mayors and the private sector. With the exception of the nation's capital and military bases, our national infrastructure lies within the jurisdictions of individual states and cities and is largely owned and operated by private entities. And emergency response has traditionally been a local responsibility.
The most compelling lesson we should have learned on 9/11 is that our borders are unable to provide an effective barrier against the modern terrorist threat. The al-Qaeda operatives who carried out the attacks on New York and Washington had been residing in the United States. They did not strike us with weapons of mass destruction provided by a rogue state but turned four domestic airliners into their equivalents. The Madrid train attacks in March 2004, the suicide bombings of the London Underground in July 2005, the June 2006 arrests of seventeen radicalized Canadians in Toronto, and the August 2006 arrests of two dozen British citizens intent on bombing U.S.- bound flights from London all highlight the growing reality that advanced democratic societies are not immune to incubating the homegrown terrorist threat.
The central lesson to be learned from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita is that major natural disasters are likely to overwhelm states' and localities' capacities to respond. Those two storms caused damage to more than 90,000 square miles of land and destroyed 360,000 households. Washington's exhortations to governors and mayors to do more will not alter documented reality. In a report on disaster preparedness released in June 2006, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security found that only one quarter of state emergency operations plans and 10 percent of municipal plans are sufficient to cope with a natural disaster or terrorist attack. The majority of plans "cannot be characterized as fully adequate, feasible or acceptable to manage catastrophic events."
Denial and a fatalistic sense of resignation seem to be conspiring to immobilize us. Superficially, on an individual level there is an underlying logic to our inertia. Most of us will not be in the wrong place at the wrong time when terrorists attack, the earth rumbles, the tsunami hits, or the hurricane makes landfall. Of course, there will be victims, but odds are that individually we will not be counted among them. On the flip side, if fate does place us directly in the crosshairs of a disaster, anything we may have done in advance to protect ourselves is likely to be overwhelmed by the destructive forces aligned against us. So why worry about forces that lie beyond our control?
But this kind of rationalization is silly and irresponsible. Anyone who has ever prepared for a camping trip or gone to sea on a small vessel knows that having plans for coping with emergencies does not rob these activities of their enjoyment. However, not having plans could eat away at your peace of mind and put lives needlessly at risk should misfortune strike. We rightfully condemn as a fool anyone who marches off into the wilderness or leaves shore without the basic survival skills and tools for coping when things go wrong.
The fact is that we are living in increasingly complicated and perilous times and we have to stop pretending that disasters are extremely rare and unforeseeable. Even if we personally are usually lucky enough to be outside the primary strike zone, we are unlikely to escape the fallout. The things we depend on are becoming more and more interconnected and interdependent. A disruption of pipelines and refineries on the Gulf Coast means that gasoline quickly becomes in short supply everywhere. The closure of a major seaport such as Los Angeles means a nationwide shortage of the things that retailers and manufacturers—and ultimately consumers—need to keep operating. And in an age when long daily commutes and frequent air travel are facts of life, there is little hope that the rapid spread of a contagious disease can be contained by a simple quarantine.
The danger from man-made attacks is growing despite the more-than- five-year reprieve the United States has enjoyed since 9/11. We have been hedging most of our security bets on open-ended military campaigns to combat terrorism overseas, a gamble that appears to have worsening odds. When we were focused on containing the Soviet Union during the Cold War, relying on the projection of our military power beyond our shores made sense. However, today, we are seeing that the far-flung radical jihadist threat cannot be encircled by deploying our armed forces to the Middle East and Central Asia. Indeed, those efforts have had the unintended consequence of attracting more recruits, including "self-starter" groups of first- and second- generation Muslim immigrants in advanced democratic societies such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The use of sabotage by insurgents in Iraq has also helped to proliferate the number of individuals who possess the skills and technology to target critical facilities such as refineries, pipelines, water management systems, power generators, and electrical transformers. Whatever the long-term prospects for a more peaceful Middle East—and they do not look good for the foreseeable future—the global terrorist risk is going to get worse before it gets better. It is simply a matter of time before the United States is attacked again.
Compounding the risk is that we are living our lives in ways that increasingly tempt both fate and our enemies. At the micro level, most of us are blithely depleting the reservoir of self-sufficiency that once got us through emergencies. Our just-in-time lifestyles rely on ATM machines to provide us with cash when we need it and twenty-four-hour stores to provide us with food and gas on demand. When the power goes out and these modern conveniences fail, we quickly become incapacitated. Within hours after storms hit, thousands of people end up standing in line for clean water, a hot meal, and basic shelter. Then we are dismayed to find that the public safety and public health sectors that we have been starving of resources during the good times are unable to help us when the times get bad.
We have raised our exposure to harm in other ways as well. For one thing, we have been unwilling to invest in the infrastructure that supports our lives. In 2005, the American Society of Civil Engineers assigned grades to fifteen categories of infrastructure based on a review of hundreds of studies and reports and a survey of more than two thousand engineers. Grades were assigned on the basis of condition and capacity, and funding versus need. It was not the kind of report card you would have wanted to bring home to your parents: four Cs, ten Ds, and one incomplete. The narrative reads like a survey that might have been conducted on the eve of the collapse of the Roman Empire. Roads, dams, water purification facilities, the power grid, canal locks, roads, and wastewater management systems have gone from very bad to worse in the past four years. More than 3,500 dams around the country are unsafe and many pose a direct risk to human life should they fail. The nation's inland waterway system is literally falling apart, which is especially bad news for Midwesterners, who depend upon it to move agricultural exports, bring coal to power plants, and transport chemicals and other bulk commodities. Nearly one half of its 257 locks are functionally obsolete, and that number is projected to rise to 80 percent by 2020. The report also documents that while the U.S. power system is in urgent need of modernization, maintenance expenditures have been dropping by 1 percent per year since 1992.
Demographic trends are also contributing to our growing fragility. Over the past two decades, Americans have been moving to coastal cities and communities in growing numbers. Half of the U.S. population currently lives within fifty miles of the coast just as scientists are predicting that we are at the start of a cycle of severe weather that promises more frequent—and probably more dangerous —storms. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita highlighted a fact that we should already have known: the poorest and neediest among us are especially vulnerable in these areas. Those who cannot afford to own cars may be stranded in homes that lie in flood zones or are easily damaged by high winds.
The stakes transcend the unnecessary loss of innocent lives and the risk of major disruptions to our economy and our society. Our elected leaders' failure to provide meaningful leadership in addressing America's gravest vulnerabilities endangers the durability of the social contract between the governed and the government. The poststorm collapse of the New Orleans levee system showed that government at all levels was unwilling to undertake prudent measures to protect us in the face of a foreseeable and inevitable threat. Increased public cynicism has been the inevitable by-product. A poll conducted on the eve of the first anniversary of the Katrina disaster found that 57 percent of Americans feel the country is ill prepared for a disaster. After the next major terrorist attack on U.S. soil, the post-9/11 homeland security efforts will again be placed under a blistering spotlight. Americans will then painfully discover that our elected and private-sector leaders have been barely going through the motions. Beyond passenger airline security, few meaningful measures have been put into place to construct a credible counterterrorism deterrent at home or to ensure that the emergency plans laid out on paper can actually be carried out in reality.
Thinking about and preparing for when things can go very wrong need not be about becoming a nation of Chicken Littles. It is foolish and self-destructive to oscillate between immobilizing fear, on the one hand, and blithely going about our lives playing a societal version of Russian roulette, on the other. Natural disasters will happen, and not all terrorist attacks can be prevented. However, what is preventable is the cascading effects that flow from these disasters and attacks. The loss of life and economic fallout that disasters reap will always be magnified by our lack of preparedness to manage the risk actively and to respond effectively when things go wrong.
As a stepping-off point, we must be open to rethinking how the business of national security and emergency preparedness is done.
On the home front, we continue to leave it up to city and and state governments to manage natural disasters, with Washington admonishing mayors and governors that in case of a disaster they will be on their own for at least seventy-two hours. In an earlier era, relying almost exclusively on local means to deal with calamities was the only real option, given the substantial barriers that geographic distance presented to effective communication and transportation. But today assistance from afar can be just a few hours away. Within twenty-four hours after Katrina made landfall, the perennially underfunded and undermanned Coast Guard managed to get one third of its aviation assets—some from as far away as Alaska—operating within the Gulf Coast area. By the time the 82nd Airborne arrived in New Orleans six days later, Coast Guard men and women had already rescued more than 33,000 people trapped in the floodwaters. The service never waited for direction from above. On its own initiative it brought in resources from around the country, locating and assisting Americans who were in need. Other elements of the federal government, including the Pentagon, could potentially have responded as the Coast Guard did. That they did not and do not has been a matter of choice, largely having to do with resources and who will pay for them. If the American people would choose to invest in a more active federal capability to help us in times of need, we could have one.

TO REVITALIZE THE NATION by reinforcing its resistance to large scale disasters frames Flynn¿s unique vision for a renewed national purpose. If his plan to weave resilience and redundancy into the American fabric attracts the interest of thoughtful opinion leaders, it stands a chance of becoming an evangelical exhortation designed to bury the pessimistic prospect of permanent war against Islamic Civilization and cause the American people to rise up rebuilding as commanded by Matthew 7:24. THE NATION¿S PROBLEM, according to Flynn, lies in lack of preparation for managing catastrophic events which tend to ¿cascade¿ causing continuing human casualties, prolonged economic disruption and discontinuity, property destruction and a demoralization which can inhibit rapid recovery. Evidence of the nation¿s negligence in disaster preparation includes 9/11, Katrina and an extensive list of persisting vulnerabilities easily prioritized, first by common sense and then by the trained eye. AMERICA STANDS ON THE ¿EDGE OF DISASTER¿ not because of terrorism alone, but also because of random assault by ¿Acts Of God¿ including hurricanes, earthquakes, pandemics, tsunamis, firestorms, floods, half-continent power outages and major industrial accidents such as the Three Mile Island nuclear near-event. THE SOLUTION IS TO RENOVATE the weakened elements of the ¿infrastructure¿ by hardening targets, strengthening structures, enhancing and extending emergency preparedness, and changing incentives and regulations to discourage construction of new vulnerabilities such a coastal residential areas or dangerous industrial operations located in populated areas. The ¿infrastructure,¿ most of which is in the private sector but is clearly infused with a public interest and therefore subject to government regulation and incentives designed to promote the public good, includes the power grid, port facilities, energy production, public health protection, communications, chemical plants, air, land and water transportation systems, emergency preparedness programs, aged levees, bridges, and damns, financial operations and record keeping . . . all of those services, edifices, institutions, and processes which, as Hamilton hinted, make everything else possible. ALONG WITH THE REST OF US, Flynn deplores the fact that the outcome probabilities of both Katrina and 9/11 were known beforehand to all critical decision-makers. Yet obvious remedial steps (reinforce the levees, lock the cockpit doors) were not taken. Flynn is proposing that ¿never again¿ should such rampaging political incompetence and indifference be permitted to prevail against citizen safety. America must construct the best defense possible and this approach should win widespread popular approval. FLYNN¿S BLUEPRINT FOR CONSERVATIVE ACTION is a massive ¿public works¿ project of sorts. It might appeal to both Democrats as well as Republicans who think again in that it seeks to harness the ¿earmarked¿ or ¿pork barrel¿ spending on behalf of projects designed to mitigate harmful disasters. Financing would also come from the private sector to the extent that businesses can be persuaded to engage in measures to defend their own enterprises such as by disaster preparation, moving dangerous operations, building in resilience in new construction and a host of steps designed to protect and preserve. FLYNN RUNS UP AGAINST THREE POLITICAL PROBLEMS, despite the obvious common sense character of his plan. First, he seeks to set spending priorities with a new government agency called the ¿Resiliency Commission¿ on disaster prevention and mitigation. This contravenes right wing dogma against government planning and ¿social engineering.¿ Secondly, his plan hopes to harness ¿earmarked¿ spending according to a list of prioritized projects and in doing so weakens every Congressman¿s and Senator¿s claim to a fair share for his district or state.

I really got my money's worth last season from every lift ticket! I went everywhere on the mountain and the longest I waited in a lift line was two minutes! Really! Most of the time I went right on the chair without stopping. I thought I must be missing something, this is too good to be true. Are there few skiiers here because the terrain is too easy or too hard? NO!
The menu was all I could eat. It's BIG! I had to stop for lunch at little quaint Guiseppes on the peak because I was skiied out.
I loved lift 9 and 6 and 5 and 4 and 10. Bushwacker is a blast under any conditions. Steep and long. When they groom it (they did it twice when I was there) it is like flying. The plunge and Mammoth give you lots of steep bumps if you like them as much as I do. If you are not in good condition, you have to stop somewhere on these upper runs.
The views are spectacular and I was stopping just to look too. I like to go to the blues and greens down See Forever from 12,000 ft to 9,700 ft non-stop, then rest on the lift. Lift 10 is two miles of two main runs, greens and blues except through the trees if you want to go there. I got up to the top on the fast quad and ran it over and over. Lift 5 has lots of intermediate runs, including a big wide intermediate bump run I did over and over again too.
I thought it couldn't get any better, then it snowed the light Rockies powder overnight! The fresh powder was delicious here there and everywhere. Try Peekaboo from the top of lift 4. That was my secret.
I also went back into the Disneyland playground of Prospect Bowl. I Skiied around the trees and ups and downs. Then, I went up Lift 14 to the highest on Gold Hill and down Steep wide Electra.
Ahhhh! I have to hoot! I am going for two weeks again this year. I got 10 days of discount tickets online already right from Telski. It was a little hard getting there, but its really, really worth it. No crowds.
Oh, I forgot. There are some great restaurants and some bars with live music. All the people are friendly. There is always something to do and people to meet. Look for the Yellow Ski Suit.

Another day, another desperate load of kids hoping to make it big. Maybe Colorado will actually offer us some real contenders this time around for the winners circle! Thus far, as you can read from my reviews, I've been pretty unimpressed with the "best singers" as chosen by the judges: good looking, sappy stories and begging seems to be the key to making through to the second round. I need me some ORIGINAL sounds and unique personalities and so far, short of one or two girls I've mentioned in past articles, I haven't seen that star yet.
So, it's time to try out Aspen. Also, really? Aspen? I'm sure it's not, but I have this image of a tucked away snowy town that's only accessible by one, rocky road… I know that makes no sense, but how did the infamous ski slopes of Asp get chosen? I'm honestly starting to question that there isn't some weird marketing or cross-promotion thing going on behind the scenes but who really cares. Let's get to what you're here for: me complaining about the awful auditions.
Well, another city, another 10,000 "hopefuls" fill the audition room in what is quickly becoming my favorite city in the US. – San Diego. Famous (in my opinion) for its perfect weather and amazing gay pride, I'm just hoping that it also holds some talented folks and some epic crazies as Lopez and Tyler (ugh and Seacrest) tease and gel their hair as high as it will go for these Cali residents. Last night's auditions took place on a jet carrier or something random like that: not REALLY sure what that's about other than a blatant attempt at faux nationalism but oh well.
No spoilers before the fold, don't worry, but I will say that the show is really editing down the insanity this season and particularly this episode as we pretty much just see success stories: I guess they're doing some polling and finding out what people want to see… though, come on, at least ONE tragic queen spitting at the camera or a sassy gal with more extensions than real hair and the three inch lacquered nails to match. Ah well, it was a decent episode: if you're looking to save time read the summary and see the highlights alone or if you're looking to see me trash a bunch of "singers" click through for that as well!
Click through to read the rest of my review & watch the audition highlights…
Well, Idol survived my first review of the premiere attempt to scour for talent in the Southern heat of Savannah, Georgia, but will the City of Champions (in their first ever AI audition) match up in talent and entertainment? I'm hoping for at least one screaming queen (you know I hate how they represent our people but it's still hilarious to see them bust down time after time and call momma to tell her she can't quit the factory quite yet), one proposal from a bumpkin' to Lopez and a few rants to the camera afterwards- oh, and a "true talent to take it all" blah blah blah. Honestly, it's the bipolar ones that you need to look out for on this set!
Last night I decided to take off the kid's gloves since I realized my original article was way too forgiving of over-produced Idol moments, stretched out dramas and barely-there voices that have no real chance to make it but that the "Golden Ticket Moment" is too much of a seller that they couldn't resist passing them out like so many flavored tic tacs. So, buckle in, cause mean Adam is back and I'm taking no prisoners today!
Well, despite a god awful teaser of Lopez… well, walking… Season 11 of "American Idol" didn't fail to have some classic AI, entertaining moments as we kick off the season in (do they always start here??) Savannah, Georgia. Home of the extremely young and talented, the gayest of the gays and way too many Steven Tyler fans, though that's probably just because Georgia- like Australia and India- is about 20 years behind and is only just now hearing about this crazy new rock band called Aerosmith. All together though, they make for a pretty interesting opening show.
While many choose to skip over the auditions and hold out for Vegas week or even "Top 20s" (or whatever random number they go with this year), I'm a beginning to end kind of guy as I love to pick my faves early in the competition though typically the true stars don't shine till they hit Sin City. You might notice that Donovan is no longer the welcoming face at the top of this article, well, we unanimously came to the decision that since the show is taking on a "kinder image" with Lopez and Tyler falling in love with every fresh face that hits the stage, we'd hit back by having our bitchiest writer- me– take the reins on the reviews. And speaking of…
Click through to read my cutting review of last night's episode
According to Life & Style magazine the answer would be "yes". The publication reports that the 43-year-old singer is shacking up with a Mexican model. It's amazing how having an amazing voice can get the ladies. No disrespect to Anthony, but he looks like a walking zombie. How he manages to win over gorgeous lady (Miss Universe Dayanara Torres) after gorgeous lady (Jennifer Lopez) is beyond me. The latest to fall victim to his powers of seduction is Adriana Ontiveros.
L&S reports that the two met through a mutual friend, singer Alejandro Fernandez. They were spotted recently at a Miami Dolphins football game looking cozy. It's not clear if things are serious between the two but they were definitely comfortable showing some PDA. Here's an eyewitness account.
"They exited the stadium via a private entrance and stepped out of the elevator together." The witness additionally said, "They were holding hands, and he seemed very comfortable with her. He wasn't flaunting it."
The other day, Patrick wrote about the most viewed videos on YouTube in 2011. As you probably noticed, that list didn't include music videos from artists from major music labels. Ergo, why Rebecca Black's "Friday" topped that list and the likes of Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez were nowhere to be seen in that Top 10 list.
As luck would have it, YouTube has a separate list for established artists or as they officially refer to it as, "Most Watched Videos From Major Music Labels Globally". Man, that's a mouthful. On this list, you'll find most of your favorites and surprisingly a few notable omissions. Even though, Adele, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears have topped several year-end lists from Best Song to Best Artist to Best whatever, the trio are MIA on this one.
So who made it? Since it's a global list, some entries may surprise you. For instance, Pitbull shows up in three spots. WTF, dude must have a huge following in all the Spanish-speaking countries. I was also a bit stunned, yet happy, to see Jessie J's "Price Tag" on this list. Love that song. See what other music videos YouTube watchers watched over and over and over and over again in 2011 below.

Earlier this year in January, a viral teaser of Jennifer Lopez's "Good Hit" surfaced online. It was a short clip featuring Lopez doing some fierce blow dryer choreography. I assumed, and hoped, it would become an eventual single since footage was already shot. After releasing the insanely huge "On The Floor", she followed it up with "I'm Into You" and "Papi" which both did very little on the Billboard charts. Definitely NOT a wise move on her part. Why she didn't release "Good Hit" is beyond me. The title all but assures it'll be a good hit.
Nearly almost a year since we first saw a sneak peek, the full length version of the video has finally seen the light of day. Based on initial impression, Lopez definitely missed the ball and should've given "Good Hit" the official single treatment. The Dream and Tricky Stewart-produced track was an instant favorite of mine. I loved the deep bass and beat of the urban track. This was the J. Lo I originally fell in love with. That sassy "In Living Color" fly girl from the Bronx.
As expected from the teaser, the clip is filled with plenty of scenes with J. Lo killing it in a blue leotard jumpsuit while executing some interesting blow dryer choreo. Personally, I think it's genius. Why rely on a huge fan machine like Beyonce, when you can simply generate your own wind in a hand held device. Lopez looks smoking hot as a sexy beauty school professor passing on her secrets of hair whipping to an army of wannabe divas. It's hard to imagine she's over forty and had twins coming out of that slamming body. Check out the video below.
Over the past several weeks, we've been sharing a lot of 2011 year end lists, mostly highlighting the best in any particular category. Earlier today, Tyrell shared Entertainment Weekly's best 10 songs of 2011. On the flip side, I thought I'd bring you the publication's worst 5 picks. Admit it, it's more fun to pick on the worst, right? That being said, most of 5 Worst Songs are so heinous, it hurts to listen to them even just once.
As you can see in the picture above, will.i.am's collaboration with Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger secured a spot on the dishonorable list. On paper, the three of these artists on a project should produce a bona fide hit. Instead the single, "T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)", has been universally panned and comes off as overindulgent. See who else EW.com picked as the bottom of the barrel from the year. You probably won't be surprised at the #1 selection. I know I wasn't and extremely happy about their choice.

hi doctor recently my friend did a chlamydia infection test it came with two results lgg psitive lgm negative what's the diffrence between them and if there is any other disease related to chlamydia thank u
Response from Dr. Young
Hello and thanks for posting.
Chlamydia infections generally come in two types, from two different species of bacteria. Chlamydia pneumonia causes respiratory tract infections, whereas Chlamydia trachomatis causes a sexually transmitted infection.
The tests results that you refer to are antibody tests-- the IgM is an antibody produced transiently after the initial exposure (in this case, to Chlamydia). IgM levels usually fade to negative in a month or two. IgG antibodies are produced shortly after the initial IgM phase and persist. They are indicative of previous exposure or infection, but not indicative necessarily of active illness.
We typically don't use antibody tests for Chlamydia, but rather use nucleic acid amplification or PCR tests to detect the live bacteria.

So I was writing a little method to get some data out of a database for propel-based symfony-1.1 project, and all was easy, great, and neat.
But someone egregiously decided to store an integer into a varchar field, which results in a wrong order, e.g. {1, 17, 5}, and not numeric one I was expecting, e.g. {1, 5, 17}.
I know that the best way would be to redesign my schema.yml, but alas this just is not an option right now. So I was wondering if there is a way to cast said varchar field as an integer without harming the propel-approach too much.
This is the sorting function:
public static function getFooData($column = 'FooPeer::ID', $orderBy = 'asc') {
//FIXME: Sort varchar fields as integer, needed for FooPeer::REQUESTS
$c = new Criteria();
if ($orderBy == 'asc') {
} else {
return FooPeer::doSelect($c);

Coxeter matroid
In mathematics, Coxeter matroids are generalization of matroids depending on a choice of a Coxeter group W and a parabolic subgroup P. Ordinary matroids correspond to the case when P is a maximal parabolic subgroup of a symmetric group W. They were introduced by Gelfand and Serganova (1987, 1987b), who named them after H. S. M. Coxeter.
Borovik, Gelfand & White (2003) give a detailed account of Coxeter matroids.
Suppose that W is a Coxeter group, generated by a set S of involutions, and P is a parabolic subgroup (the subgroup generated by some subset of S). A Coxeter matroid is a subset of W/P that for every w in W contains a unique minimal element with respect to the w-Bruhat order.
Relation to matroids[edit]
Suppose that the Coxeter group W is the symmetric group Sn and P is the parabolic subgroup Sk×Sn–k. Then W/P can be identified with the k-element subsets of the n-element set {1,2,...,n} and the elements w of W correspond to the linear orderings of this set. A Coxeter matroid consists of k elements sets such that for each w there is a unique minimal element in the corresponding Bruhat ordering of k-element subsets. This is exactly the definition of a matroid of rank k on an n-element set in terms of bases: a matroid can be defined as some k-element subsets called bases of an n-element set such that for each linear ordering of the set there is a unique minimal base in the Gale ordering of k-element subsets.

Phoenix Suns
Suns analyst: Goran Dragic a natural shooting guard
The Phoenix Suns signed Goran Dragic to a four-year, $34 million contract over the summer to replace Steve Nash at point guard.
And in 51 games this season he's been productive, averaging 14 points and 6.3 assists per game on 44 percent shooting.
However, the last handful of games have seen Dragic play alongside Kendall Marshall, with the Suns rookie taking the reins at point guard and Dragic moving over to the shooting guard position.
Does that mean they're not exactly sold on Dragic as the point guard of future?
A guest of Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday, Suns analyst Tim Kempton said it's too soon to answer that question. However, he noted the decision to play Dragic at shooting guard has given a glimpse of what the player can do when he doesn't have to worry about setting up his teammates.
"He is a very good natural scorer," Kempton said. "He can shoot the ball, he knows how to get to the basket. He's very good at attacking off the catch as opposed to the pick-and-roll where the big man and the other guard can be physical with him and slow him down."
Kempton said some of the issues Dragic may be having stem from a lack of experience, as the 26-year-old is still learning the NBA game. But, he knows how to score, and freeing him up from the role of distributor has shown it.
"I think they've definitely opened eyes in moving him over to the two as much as they have," Kempton noted.
Of course, the question then becomes whether or not Dragic should remain at point guard or move to the shooting guard role. Kempton, at least, thinks Dragic may be better suited at the two.
"Because of his size in Europe," Kempton said. "He's a big point guard here but he's a really big point guard in Europe, so I think in the NBA, because of his size and because of his skill-set, I think he's capable."
Kempton said watching Dragic gives the impression he can be a better shooting guard than point guard, and a look around the NBA reveals some of the best point guards are of a smaller variety.
"All those guys are all little guys," he said. "Goran's a bigger kid."

Game design icon Shigeru Miyamoto once argued that a solution is something that solves at least two problems simultaneously. Anything else is just a problem by a different name. This week in tech news brought forth a number of stories that showed how often companies wanting to solve problems in one area create more problems in areas beyond their control. These cases are becoming emblematic of the age we live in, alive with a frenzy of invention and technofication, whose results are wondrous in one arena and depressingly degrading in others. We're winning and losing simultaneously, everything is getting better and worse all at the same time. Welcome to the future. At least we have jetpacks now. Finally.
